Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Mr. District Attorney "Labor Pirates" (08-19-42)


Labor Pirates (Aired August 19, 1942)


Mr District Attorney was for many years the nation’s best-liked crime show. The thirty-minute drama was inspired by the real-life exploits of Thomas E Dewey, a racket-busting district attorney of the late 30s in New York. The show was directed and often written by Ed Byron, a former law student who devoted all of his time researching crime, which was the reason that the show was so topical.
